Tripping on shrooms alone is different from when you are with friends, but its neither better nor worse. It's like smoking up at home alone as compared to with all your buddies.

Only cautions I'd say are worth mentioning when tripping alone is to make sure you can avoid a bad trip by yourself.

Make sure you know how to handle a trip when its getting sour, uncomfortable or whatever.

When I tripped alone in my room, i thought my room would be the perfect place, but it turned out that I didn't really like my room that much while on shrooms.

Watching t.v is very cool and strange, but may seem like a waste of time.. i tried listening to music but all I could find was britney spears and other pop.

Just try to keep yourself occupied with things that may interest you, if you don't its easier to fall into a bad trip. And while alone a bad trip can be well, VERY bad.

Just on new years, one of my best friends was having a great trip for the new years, then he had to go home and at 3 am he phoned me, still tripping. And he was having major mood swings, good thing that i was able to talk him through it thuogh.

When you're alone, it someitmes means that you are alone and that is that. No one to call or reach out to while experiencing a tough and rough trip. So be prepared, keep in mind that you can handle yourself.

You're very experienced you say so it shouldn't be anything overwhelmingly new. Although it will still be overwhelming, just do the same things you do when tripping with friends, HAVE FUN!!!!!!

Tripping alone is more of an experience of learning, rather than an experience of chaos and giggles... Its different, but hte same, but different..... hahaha i dunno just do it and keep yourself safe.

Tripping alone is the way to go. I follow terrance Mckenna's view that if a person has tripped a few times and there seems to be no serious problems they should try it alone. Others only distract you from the trip. While somewhat valuable as a safety at first, to really experience it one must dive in alone. On a bed with good music is definatly a good way to go. Nature is nice as well but it often difficult to relax fully unless one is in a very private area. The only enemy is fear. One often fears where mushrooms take us, toward insanity or worse death, but actually in a strong mind niether is the case. They take you too a wonderful place. For me the best mushroom trips come alone in the dark with natural/tribal music and complete privacy to feel, think, and act how I wish.

i would say start slow and get used to the feeling of trippin alone. i prefer to trip alone, its very peaceful once i get over the antisapitory anxiety. sailing on the water with just you, a sail, and mother nature is a blast. clouds making weird things of them selves. but dont go on the water unless you got things figured out.

Hey, why not have the phone number of a friend around while you are tripping. Just let the friend know where and what you are up to. You never know when one of those uncomfortable trips is gonna sneek up on you, Only afterwards have I looked back and said "Oh yea, I should have known". I pick up just as much info from the tough trips as the ecstatic ones. Sometimes means you are tripping too much? Anyways unless you actually go ahead and jump you won't die. at least not physically. Those transdimensional buggers better think twice while Bush is in charge. Ha Ha

I know I'm new to these forums,well not really i was on the last one that crash or something for about a year.Anyway the first time i took about a gram of shrooms,I did it with a friend ,he left to go to a party about an hour later.I never took them since, that was over 10 years ago.I was watching TV when I noticed that every time I'd breathe in the wall in the room would suck in or close in worp what ever,breathing out the walls went out,I hyperventalated and thought i was having a heart attack,run outside into a field and talked to myself through the peak while my body felt like jello.I could do acid alone anytime though,funny Ah?.

I used to always tell my parents I had been drinking. To them this was much more acceptable than psychedelics and they always bought it as a reason for my somewhat strange behavior, usually just a big grin. One has to always remember that to outsiders we don't seem nearly as strange as we feel. Always remember they don't know.

Right Gopal. Usually people seem alot stranger than they really are. Take me for instance.....Most of the time people think that I am very strange, but when they get to know me they realize that I am quite normal in most respects.

yeah i always become torn between stayin with my trippin buddies or goin on my own, i usually pick alone. I tend to get bugged out by other people, especially if one or more of them arent. When im alone it usually seems more spiritual or in the very least more worth the shrooms. Helps me work out problems.

I like the real heavy trips where i pretty much never move since im completely lost in my mind.....damn where the shrooms at?

couldn't agree more. i've found that trippn alone is generally a more worth while experiences than trippn with others. its definetly a more spiritual experience and you don't have to worry as much about bad vibes ruining it. unless something genuinely BAD occurs, bad trips normally happen around others when something gets taken out of context or someone is misunderstood, which happens alot when people are really fucked up. trippn with people you know well can be alot of fun, but tripn in an intimiate setting with strangers is always a bad idea.

Ok, it might be a little long, but if anything, atleast read the part that i entered into my ipod touch coming down.

i ate shrooms for the very first time last night. i work midnights in a factory and hd been up the whole day after work hanging out with friends, doing some running around, etc. i was playig nhl 11 when i looked and remebered oh ya i bought 2 grams of shrooms toda.so i ate them within a few minutes...alone. oncethey start to kick in, you just gotta ride it out.

i started getting bored and distracted from my game, so my mind wandered, everywhere while i was still playing.

i eventuallygot bored and went to smoke a bowl of weed.... and ilooked at my lighter and said aloud "the lighter that i must hold forever" (that was said everytime i caught a glimpse of it.

anyways i was sitting in my garage... and i cant even explain it. it was lik i was on a tv show and the things in the garage were my audience... no major hallucinations, more of a mind thing.

anyways i came in and played more gamesbut again my mind was too occupied. i looked at my alarm clock is 2:30am. "i need to get some slep ive been up for over 2 days" i said to myself. so wthin wwhat seemed ike 2 seconds i had turned off al power in my room ad it was now pitch black.

"i can sleep. why cant i sleep?wait why do we need sleep? wat is sleep?.......WHAT IS LIFE? are we just living a dillusion? i need to pick up my friend at 8:30am. why? who is he? how do we know each other? what does this friend MEAN to me? what do I MEAN TO EVERYONE ELSE????

... i need sleep. but i cant stop thinking. why cant i stop thinking? am i insane? will this ever end am i stuck in this psychotic state of mind forever? oh no! i think i am!!"

yes indeed i went mildly crazy. but i found answersto every question. im still not sure if what i read on the internet was what i was actually reading, or if my mind just wanted to see its own story and i still read it aloud to myself.

5 hours had passed and i waas starting to come to grips and land back into "reality". i questioned why we do the things we do in our everyday life. i entered the following into my ipod ouc, layed back down and fell asleep:

I just took mushrooms 5 hours ago and in the past 5 hours i was insane. i need to clean my room i need t clean the bathroom, i need to vaccuum downstairs.

i just had the biggest epiphany of my life.

i was hungry for knowledge about everything and nothing. very strange but wonderful, and fearful experience. i acually believed we did not need to sleep. i was playing as video game and my mind wasnt in the game at all. im glaad those hours are over. i read things on the internet machine that fit my life to perfection and it ended with the person killing themself. why? why did they want to die? (**side note: admittedly i have had very severe depressed thoughts in the past.) It sadened me to think about suicide.

the 10 dollars i spent on 2 grams was well worth the lifetime full of information i recieved. if this makes sense when i wake up, then i win!

i conquered the game of life.

I won.

there's a reason i couldnt find my ipod, or the lighter that i must hold. so i could escape "reality" and type it in when i was done and found them.

you enter a completely psychotic element. but in the end of it all, we make final peace with ourselves and tell yourself be proud to be alive. Even though you're nothing morer than a slave to a huge system, its still your life. you have to be yourself. stand up and say i am my own person. i make my own decisions. yes i fuck up but fuck you we're all human. we all make fuck ups. it's in our nature. so before h very next time you go to say anything bad or hurtful to someone, take a fucking step back off your high horse. look in the mirror and see that you are just as fucked up as the next person.

im just startingo leave mushroom land although im till a little high. all of that i thought about in 5 hours, and many times i thought that i thought way too much, i think, lol.

its 4:30am i will get 4 hrs of sleep wake up and drive my Adam friend to work because that is what our species does. we help those who help us in return. Even if the person doesnt return the favour, atleast you have the satisfaction of knowing you did a good deed. and in life that's all you need. that'what mas a human being ultimately happy.

The end. time for sleep. yes i finally remember what that is agsin.....

That's life in a nutshell."

I don't trip anymore because I don't think my brain can handle the stress if things go sour. With that said, I don't recommend EVER tripping alone unless you're a veteran who has tripped hundreds of times and feel confident.
